Moved from Tibicen.

This image is of a female T. linnei, a very common species here in the South. Because several Tibicen species occurring in your area may share very similar coloration and pattern, the best character for recognition of this species is the "obtuse angle" seen midway in the costal vein of the forewing giving it a bowed appearance (Note the heavy wing vein along the leading edge of the forewing)and the dark black stripe across the face ("Mask").

The wing characteristic becomes most evident when compared to other Tibicen species.
